My family agrees that it is the best soap we have used for our skin. I gave away the Almond soap that I have been asked to review. I will have to get some more next time I order. I pray for those growing the olives and making the soap ...... and their families. I also write my congressional representatives, at least weekly, to complain about the complicity of our government in supporting the continued invasion and occupation of your lands. Support is growing in our country to end that support - the elections this fall MAY make a difference but BOTH parties have been duped by AIPAC for so long I don't expect an immediate end to my country's support.

These towels are hand-loomed in Bursa, Turkey, a city famous for the origins of towel production since the 17th century. These towels are made of long-fiber Bergama cotton grown in the İzmir region. İzmir's climate and soil conditions contribute to the material's softness, absorbency, and durability. The towels will become increasingly soft over time.
The common name hammam towel, refers to their use in a style bath houses called a hammam popular in Arabic cultures for over a millennia. Also known as peshtemal from the Persian پشتمال or fouta in Arabic فوطة, both referring to a cotton towel for the body. These towels measure 3.2 feet by 6 feet, as large as a beach towel and can be used as a bath towel, a garment wrap, a blanket, a shade cloth or carrying sack. Its tight elaborate weave absorbs well while drying quickly, sand and dirt shake off easily as it doesn't embed into this type of weave. The weave is also more dense while remaining thin, light and flowing making them more comfortable, packable, usable and beautiful than conventional terrycloth towels.
